Weather, feral hogs rough on Tyrrell Park rose bushes
Dan WallachFebruary 14, 2017 GMT
In a winter full of Aprils, Tommy Hebert hopes cooler weeks ahead will slow the blooming of the roses at Tyrrell Park.
Hebert, a member of the Golden Triangle Rose Society, was at the park on Monday snipping bad-looking branches from the park’s rose plants.
“Everything is in bad shape because of the heat. And stem canker,” Hebert said.
He and five other men worked the garden, trying to reclaim it from scraggly stems and to repair the beds, which have been ripped up by feral hogs that were looking for earthworms and grubs in the soft soil.

“Does Your Nose Know What My Nose Knows?” was the name of a creative article written by an author during my time as the executive director of the American Rose Society. The reference was to the fragrance found in roses.I would like to pass this question on to you and the butterfly bush, or buddleia. My wife, Jan, and I are blissfully on the same page when it comes to the Pugster varieties we are growing.
Last year I planted six. Three got moved to sunnier landscape locations in the fall. A year later we are experiencing all their delicious fragrance to the max and on a daily basis. They are actually the most fun and enjoyable shrubs I’ve grown in a long time.
